Hey everyone, Dana here! - And Stefan. And together - we're doing a Q&A video.
We collected some of your questions and we will pick them out from in here. - Yes. Thank
you so much. There were so many really great questions. Thank you, thank you, thank you
very much. And now let's select some to answer. Okay, first one: Are you both morning people?
I would say I'm a morning person. - Really?! That's a shock to me. - But! But! With a but.
I'm a morning person but I don't like to talk in the morning. And I like to wake up in the
morning. Slowly. - Slowly. Very, very slowly. - I'm not grumpy or anything. I just don't like
to talk. - Yeah. - So, I don't know. You judge if that is a morning person. - I wake up, and
the moment I'm awake I'm like, hi, good morning! And then, like, I'm fully awake.
How long did it take before you considered yourself fluent in German?
Me? I would say - I think that's a question for me. - it took around 6, 7
years of my life, but maybe it's a question for you.
So fluent in German? Um, I think it was 4 years. - What is fluent? - Yeah, for me, when
I felt like I could understand at least 80% or 90% of a conversation. - I would say you're
fluent in German because you can make phone calls to your doctor. - Phone calls! As soon
as I could make phone calls in German then I felt fluent in German because phone calls
are the hardest. That's a good way to put it. - Good.
What change do you hope to make in the new year? I want to start exercising more. - I have
some goals. - Okay. - You said more exercising. I started running last year in 2016, and in
2018 I want to run a half marathon. Do you have any pets? What would be your dream pet?
A dog! - A dog. And no, we don't have a dog. And we don't have any pets. So the question
is answered: are you a dog person or a cat person? - I'm a dog person. - I'm a dog person.
What's your favorite German Christmas tradition and what is Stefan's favorite American Christmas
tradition? - I don't know. I don't have an American Christmas tradition because I only celebrated
Christmas once with your family. - In the U.S. - And your family has more, like, the Czech
Christmas traditions. - Here we've often done raclette for Christmas. - As a food, yeah.
As a food. And I've really like that.
Oh, that's actually a question for me. I picked a question for me. What is Stefan's job?
50% I'm working for Wanted Adventure. - That is a change that we made for 2017. - Last year.
Yeah. - I'm doing everything in the background. Not editing. Editing is all done by Dana.
But I'm there for the - The paperwork! - All the paperwork. - Thank you so much. The bureaucracy.
Good German paperwork. And then the other 50% I'm working in IT. - Do you have a a driver's
license in Germany -- I guess this question is for me, although it could be for anyone.
Do you have a a driver's license in Germany and how much do you drive? If you don't have
a license, do you miss driving? So...
I have a driver's license. - I also have a driver's license. - Do you have a German driver's license?
I have a German driver's license. Yes. - She has. - How much do I drive? - She's not driving. - None.
Do I miss driving? No. I don't miss driving at all. - But you can drive. - I can drive.
I just, I don't like it.
I take the small ones, then I don't have to read so much. - Okay. Nice trick. - Are you a
German citizen? Do you have plans to become a German citizen? Again. Yes. I'm a German
citizen. - I think that question is for me. - And I have no plans of becoming a double German
citizen. - Okay. - But how about you? - Yeah. So I am not a German citizen. I am a resident
here in Germany. And for right now I don't have plans to become a German citizen mostly
because in Germany, for me, it is not possible for me to become a German citizen without
giving up my American citizenship. I live here and I would like to vote, but it's just
not possible right now. And I don't want to give up my American citizenship. So...
No. I wouldn't want to do that either. - Yeah.
Okay. Apart from wintery hiking, which leisure activities/sports/hobbies have you encountered
in Germany that you probably wouldn't encounter in the U.S.?
Eisstockschießen. True! It's like curling. It's, yeah, in the direction of curling and...
And bocce. - And bocce, yeah, that's what I was going to say. If you took curling and
bocce. - And you have never seen it in the U.S.? - I've, no. I mean, I know I'm from Florida,
but my parents came and they had also never heard of it.
And I take a small one again because I don't like to read. What are your travel plans for
2018? - I don't know if we have any travel plans. - No. - Besides maybe for your half marathon,
you might do that in the U.S. - Exactly. - But, yeah. I don't think as of yet we have any
travel plans.
Oh! This question, we've been getting this a lot. Do you speak German or English together
at home? What do we speak? - None of the both. - None of the both. - There you go. - That was good.
We're speaking Denglish. It's mostly English-based.
It's heavy English. - It's English-based. -Yeah. - And everyone
who's complaining, you should speak more German at home. I'm sorry, guys. We don't because
we met speaking English. You associate feelings with the voice - Yeah. - and the way someone
speaks. So we're speaking English.
Why do you live in Munich instead of Cologne, since Stefan's family is from that area?
That's right. My family is from that area. And I grew up near Cologne. But since 2005
I'm living in Munich because of my work. - You came here for a year. - I came here for a year.
It's been a long year. - The year turned into several years and now I'm based here in Munich.
How did you get your TEFL, online or an in-person program? I've made, I think a couple videos
on teaching English, and I will put those down in the description box below. But I did
my TEFL in Prague. So it was an in-person course. And it was an intensive, one-month
course. - Since moving to Germany, has your music taste changed? Do you listen to German
and Austrian artists? - I would say that my music tastes have not changed. I still listen
to the same kinds of music. But now mixed in with my songs that are in English, are
also some German artists, like Peter Fox. I listen to the radio and then I mix in those
German songs as well.
What are Stefan's thoughts on driving in South Florida? - Oh, that's a good question. Um, we
will actually, or I actually plan to make a full video. In general, it's different.
It's quite different. - We'll leave it at that. And... - The rest in the video. - Okay.
What are your favorite restaurants in Munich? - Oh, good question. - Yeah, that's a hard question
to answer. The Stefan restaurant. - Yeah. - You cook for me.
We cook a lot of stuff at home, and... - Yeah, we eat at home a lot.
Oh, do you have kids or are you planning to have kids? - Here it is. - No, there's no... - Do we have
kids, Stefan? - There are no kids around. - There are no kids. - I saw a question:
Where are you hiding them, if you have kids? Where are you hiding them?
Yeah. - No, we don't have
kids. And at the moment we're not planning on having kids. - Yeah. So. - That's it.
Are you going to make a video all in German? Yes.
Wait, but...oh you. - I'm going to make a video all in German.
I think the video talking about driving in Florida. - Really?
In German? - I will do in German. - Oh okay. - Yeah. - Oh. I thought we were going to do that video together.
In, like, normal, like this. - I thought I would do a video in front of the blue wall.
I guess we're going to have to discuss this video still a little bit more. - We're coming
back to you. Be surprised.
I've done one video all in German. And my plan is that when the channel hopefully hits
200,000 subscribers... - Currently, while currently filming that, we are 800 subscribers away
from 200,000. - So yeah...my plan right now is that I would like to put out a video in
German and the same video in English. But I'm not sure yet. But I want to put another
video out in German.
In the beginning was the language barrier hard as far as getting to know Stefan's family,
or do they speak English? Did you ever feel kind of lonely or like you didn't fit in?
Oh! Okay, so, um, Stefan's family does not speak English. Also your friends over in the
Cologne area. And so yes, there was definitely in the beginning a language barrier. But that's
pretty much why I learned German. But yeah, there were some times where I felt kind of
lonely. - Yes. - Like, everyone was speaking German, and I couldn't understand.
How did you two meet? We won't answer that. - We're not going to tell you.
We won't answer this question on this video. Because there's a video coming out soon that
will explain how we met. - Yes.
When will you open your Christmas presents? The 24th or the 25th? - I think we answered
that last year in the Christmas video that we two made. And I open, or we open some Christmas
presents on the 24th, - German-style. - German-style. - In the evening.
And then, some on the 25th.
Yeah. But, um, I mean, this year I think we're not
really doing presents, right? - We don't have any presents.
We don't have a Christmas tree. We have our palm tree decorated with
Christmas lamps.
Are you going to visit Vienna some day? We've already been to Vienna. - We have already been
to Vienna. And we might go there again. - Yeah, it was a really nice city. So I would like
to go back. - It was really warm. - It was...yeah, well, it was summer.
Are you planning to stay in Germany or move to the U.S. one day? - Currently there's no
plan. - Yeah. I'm happy in Germany. Like, I feel finally settled here. We don't know what
the future's going to bring but, right now, as far as we can imagine... We're not looking
to move anywhere else.
My last question for today: How long have you guys been married? Six years. Six years.
And... that's the question. - That's the question. - Yeah.
Thank you so much for all the questions that you gave us. - Yeah, sorry that we couldn't
